It is another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow and this week our challenge to you is to create a card or other paper crafted project featuring VELLUM. We would love to see how you use vellum in your project but remember that we are a vintage, shabby chic or primitive challenge blog so your entry must be in one of those styles.

This week you could be a random winner and receive a digi of our choice along with a badge to display on your blog or the Design Team might choose your entry as Card of the Week and if they do, you will receive a badge and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.

Our designers have used vellum in a number of ways on their cards so you can see how versatile it can be and be inspired.

This week we are welcoming Peggy Marsh (a.k.a. The Wired Angel) as Guest Designer and she has created a beauty for you. Peggy was selected from the August Cards of the Week winners.

I used an image from The Stamping Boutique and my fancy fold is called a center stair step which I got from my friend Emma's blog. She has some great tutorials for different types of card folds, and they are all free! If you stop by her blog be sure to leave her some lovin!

Today I have a card for you that I made for my husbands 57th birthday, which is today.

For this card I used an image from There she goes, called Hauntingly Delightful This set just makes me smile because the images are so fun. My husband has a pretty good sense of humor so I think he will get a kick out of the card. The sketch is from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #137.

Thanks for stopping by today, Would love to hear what you think of my card.

Today is another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow and it is also the first of the month so that means it is time for another TRASH TO VINTAGE TREASURE challenge. Your vintage card or other paper-crafted project must start with or include one or more items that you would normally throw away. This does not mean paper scraps in your stash but you can use them in addition to your recycled or re-purposed item. Please make sure you add a photo to your blog post of the throw-away item(s) you have used so we can see how your creativity began.

This is my trash, it was a lid to a mascarpone cheese container.

Here is my treasure, for this I used a die from Tim Holtz that made the flowers and I cut them to different sizes. Twig brach is a MS and so is the leaf .

We will be choosing a random winner who will receive a digi of our choice and the Design Team will select a Card of the Week.

Our designers have been digging through their recycling bins and transformed some great items into wonderful treasures for your inspiration. To get more details and see what they used, just click on their name and you will be taken directly to their blog.
